Abstract

A fixture includes aspirator components that are compactly oriented and mounted in a housing that is attachable to the interior wall of ambulance. The housed components include a diaphragm pump, a DC motor, a valve for regulating the fluid intake to the pump, and a gauge displaying vacuum conditions. A multipanel housing structure defines a cavity in which the components are mounted and it has angularly arranged panels that facilitate a compact component arrangement in the cavity with the vacuum gauge display, and gas valve and electrical switch controls being conveniently located at the exterior of the housing. The electrical connection with the 12 V DC ambulance power source avoids the presence of electrical conductors in the patient transport area and a bracket for supporting canisters used in the aspirator systems at the exterior of the fixture is also such as to avoid the presence in the action area of unnecessary conduits and containers with electrically conductive fluids.
